Congratulations to DMPI faculty member Dr. Xin Zhang for two exciting honors! First, Dr. Zhang was recently awarded a competitive Duke Science and Technology (DST) SEED grant for her project entitled “Extracellular vesicles from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to counteract immunosenescence”. Second, Dr. Zhang has just been informed of her promotion to Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery-Career Track, effective December 1, 2026. Wonderful and richly deserved on both counts!
